Front-end noises were reported to the selling dealer when the vehicle was under warranty. After three shop visits to a cary, nc, dealer during which the technicians "could not replicate the problem," we decided to just live with the noises. After moving from north carolina to florida, the noises got worse. A clermont, FL, Chrysler deal charged us $100 to check out the problem and "couldn't find anything," but they did offer to replace the ball joints and control arms for about $1100. By that time, of course, it was out of warranty. We took it to a private mechanic, who found that the ball joints and control arms did indeed need to be replaced, so we did. The disconcerting part of this is that the problem when the vehicle only had about 30,000 miles on it and that the techs at two dealers either couldn't determine or didn't bother to determine the cause of the problem. Then, the replacement that should have been done under warranty had to be done out of pocket at about 58,000. I understand that this sort of thing could be very dangerous. Now, from the front end sounds we're hearing again, we may need to have cv joints replaced. We have an extended drivetrain warranty, and that is supposed to be covered, so it will be interesting to see how the Chrysler dealer handles it.
I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring. The problem is that it has door handles that have a metal covering on them. I have replaced them several times. The metal covering on the handles start to peel off and it cuts your hands if not careful. My granddaughter required stitches from opening the back door. I have also had serious cuts. After talking to other Sebring owners I have found that they have the same problems with the door handles and being cut. I would like to she this changed to different handles, however I am only able to get the same type of handle for my car.
